The air battle that occurred in the airspace near Kaohsiung had a great impact on the war on the ground in Tainan. The Japanese army originally had only one brigade in Taiwan. Even if Taiwan's local police force was included, it was less than one division. With the strength of one brigade, It is obviously unrealistic to control the entire Tainan area. Although the Taiwan Corps of the Cadet Army only has more than 5,000 people, its composition is very targeted. Therefore, in just one week, the top guerrilla soldiers who originally belonged to the Spark Brigade It appeared in Nantou County, and this is already Taichung,
Regarding Taiwan, Ouyang Yun was determined to win it, so he did a lot of work before deciding to send troops, and made extremely detailed research and targeted planning. The entire Taiwan Corps was actually divided into three parts. Troops drawn from the regular army of the Xuebing Army As the main combat force, they are responsible for attacking cities and destroying the basic Japanese governance structures; while the special teams composed of Lang Ya and Hu Tong roam around to kill Japanese military buildings in remote areas or some relatively famous traitors. Kill and destroy; as for the Spark Brigade, they are responsible for developing local armed forces and establishing a base centered on Kaohsiung.
The Japanese army did not have an advantage in strength, and was caught off guard. Therefore, the Taiwan Army advanced very quickly at the beginning. In just one week, the main force of the Japanese army in Tainan, centered on Kaohsiung, was completely wiped out, and Kaohsiung, Tainan and other cities were captured. , Taitung, Pingtung and other small and medium-sized cities suddenly opened up the situation,
Later, although Kobayashi Jizo mobilized the main force from Taipei to counterattack, due to the loss of air supremacy, his combat troops were severely suppressed by the Cadet Army Air Force. In just three days, he lost more than 3,000 troops.
The total strength of the Japanese Taiwan Brigade is only more than 14,000. In order to defend Taipei and other places, they can only mobilize the strength of one regiment for counterattack. This regiment does not even have the main force of the Taiwan Corps of the Xuebing Army. More than half of them were killed by the Gakuin Air Force's continuous bombing and shooting. Kobayashi Nobuyoshi was worried that excessive loss of troops would cause a defensive vacuum in some areas, so he could only shrink his troops while asking for help from Tokyo, hoping that the Ministry of War could dispatch The reinforcements drove the Xuebing army out,
In this time and space, the number of troops sent by the Japanese army to China was much higher than that in that time and space. However, even so, because the Xuebing Army firmly defended Minyue Qiong, the Japanese army's advantage was actually not as good as that time and space.
Originally, with Japan's complete reserve system, it was possible to quickly form a new army to fight on Taiwan Island. However, at this time, the Xuebing Army launched the Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi Campaign, but the South China Front Army suffered successive defeats. This made the Japanese base camp Realizing the lack of troops in South China, a difficult multiple-choice question was placed in front of them: whether to increase troops to Taiwan or South China first?
The Japanese have been operating in Taiwan for many years and have long regarded it as their own country. After weighing the situation, the Japanese army decided to increase their troops in Taiwan first and clear the snow in the backyard first.
This decision of the Japanese Army is in line with the policy line of the current Japanese cabinet. The Japanese cabinet is happy to see this phenomenon, because it will give them more reasons to negotiate peace with the Nationalist Government.
Once the direction of increasing troops is chosen to be Taiwan, then South China will be in danger. If you want to maintain a balance or even advantage in military strength in South China, the only option is to mobilize troops from North China or Central China. In this case, and the National Government A truce and turning against the Xuebing Army are in line with the interests of the Japanese Empire.
Ouyang Yun did not expect that the incident he made in Taiwan would actually promote the progress of peace talks between Japan and the Nationalist Government.
The Japanese did not expect that their move would almost cause their reliable "ally" Jiang to fall from the seat of China's highest authority.
Guo Biao and Mu Jiandie were never idle in Chongqing. Although the young marshal never gave a definite answer, with the help of his three swordsmen, Guo and Mu continued to visit some people who had political disagreements with Chiang Kai-shek. A veteran of the Kuomintang, he has accumulated considerable popularity.
The failure of Hong Kong's Ministry of Foreign Affairs made the peace talks between the Japanese and the National Government even bolder to a certain extent. The representatives sent by both sides became higher and higher, and gradually the bottom line was touched. Japan's original bottom line was because of the military (actual The tough attitude of the Army Ministry was originally to implement a ceasefire based on the actual border situation, and then set up a certain demilitarized zone in the area actually controlled by the Nationalist Government. However, as the South China Front Army was defeated across Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, the Army Ministry could not speak out. No matter how loud it was, under the persuasion of some big shots in the Japanese cabinet, the Japanese army made concessions and agreed to return certain places to the Nationalist Government. However, in return, they demanded control of Northeastern Jiangxi. Northeastern Jiangxi was so important that Shangrao returned Once Yingtan is recaptured by the national army, the next operations of the Japanese army in South China will inevitably be more difficult. The Xuebing Army will still be nominally under the control of the National Government. The Japanese do this, on the one hand, because the Xuebing Army is submissive to the central government. I hope that at the very least, I can sow discord between Xuebingjun and Chongqing. In that case, if I can even suppress Chiang Kai-shek, that would be a good choice.
Fox Tong’s activities in Hong Kong were semi-public before, with the Xuebingjun office as cover. The UK does need some Xuebingjun products, so Fox Tong members are basically not worried that their activities will be criticized by Hong Kong. Official coercion, of course, the situation has changed now, because the GMD secret service that had always been on the sidelines actually joined forces with the Japanese. In this way, even if the Hong Kong authorities can tolerate Hu Tong, Hu Tong does not have the power at the same time. Fighting two opponents, so Fox Tong's actions can only go underground,
Time entered 1939. On this New Year's Day, because the Xuebing Army Air Force suffered huge losses in the Taiwan air battle, the Xuebing Army did not hold any celebrations to show that it would not forget this shame. That night, Ouyang Yun gave a speech on TV, representing All the officers and soldiers of the Xuebing Army said hello to the people of Fujian, Yue and Qiong, and at the same time briefly explained the development goals of the Xuebing Army in 1939 and the difficulties it will face.
The Xuebing Army's development of the television industry system was not understood by some generals and even government officials at the beginning. Their idea was that instead of having the energy and money, it would be better to increase investment in the military and people's livelihood. In this era, Television is an absolute luxury product, but China is now facing its greatest humiliation in thousands of years. However, with the popularity of television, those who initially opposed it have seen its powerful propaganda effect and ability to popularize science and education. Once the Xuebing Army achieves any results or adopts any new policies, the information will soon be spread throughout the province through television broadcasts. And it is precisely because of television that the once ignorant and backward Fujian and Qiongzhou regions have become more popular. Now we are beginning to move towards a civilized society. Xuebingjun TV (also known as Guangzhou TV) allocates one and a half hours every day to broadcast science and education films. These science and education films were compiled by Li Ziwen according to Ouyang Yun's instructions. They not only promote the popularization of scientific knowledge , there are also lectures on history and national culture. Among them, the most popular among the people are some tips for getting rich, such as breeding, processing, and turning waste into treasure. These are especially popular with the people at the bottom of society. They use some social In the words of an expert, this is a real act of charity that improves people's livelihood.
As the military and political leader of the Xuebing Army, Ouyang Yun rarely appears on TV. This is because he has too many things to do. Even if he does not avoid public appearances, he does not have time. Therefore, in the Xuebing Army system, Jiang Shuren and Ji Xingwen are on TV. Among the others, Bai Liusu has the most opportunities to appear on TV. Most of Bai Liusu's TV appearances are singing or singing at some event, while Jiang Shuren explains the government of Xuebingjun. As for Ji Xingwen, , it is to report the battle situation, or to reward some troops, etc.
Ouyang Yun rarely shows up, but his income from television is the first in the three places of Fujian, Yue, and Qiong, because the songs sung by Bai Liusu are basically his works, and even some TV series are his copyrights, although he actually only provides It was just an idea. Ouyang Yun’s speech on the first night of the new year was just a speech in the minds of the people of Fujian and Yueqiong. However, it was completely different in the eyes of many caring people. For example, Huang Minzhen, the representative sent by the Chongqing government, was When he heard the words "Anyone who dares to undermine the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War and betray the country is the enemy of the Xuebing Army. As long as there is one person in the Xuebing Army, he will fight to the end against traitors and scum like them." I couldn't help but jump, and then ran to the basement without thinking about anything, preparing to send a report to Chongqing.
So far, there are still two divisions of the Xuebing Army following Li Zongren and Zhang Zizhong in resisting the Japanese. Perhaps because of the attitude of the Xuebing Army, the relationship between the Chongqing government and the Xuebing Army has eased recently, and this Huang Min is really in such a big situation. The environment was assigned,
Huang Minzhen knew something about the Chongqing government's peace talks with Japan, so it seemed to him that Ouyang Yun's words were targeted, that is, they were meant for certain people.
The Japanese and Americans, including Xue Yue, also heard this sentence. The Japanese were surprised and happy, knowing that the peace talks with the Nationalist Government had been completely exposed; the Americans were very worried. American intelligence personnel had no doubts about Japan and the Chongqing government. They have heard about the peace talks. They are concerned about the direction of China's political situation and do not like large-scale civil strife in China. Although the Americans maintain trade relations with the Japanese, they certainly do not want China to be defeated by Japan, because in that case, Asia will If the Japanese family dominates, it will definitely threaten his interests in Southeast Asia. This matter has not been hidden from Xue Yue. After all, he has been working with the Nationalist Government for many years. Although this information is confidential, it is impossible not to know it with his magical powers. When he heard the news, he was very worried. Before he saw the power of the Xuebing Army, he might have scoffed at this sentence, but now, he sincerely hopes that the Xuebing Army and the National Government will never cause trouble. Otherwise, there will be extremely serious internal friction, which will be too cheap for the Japanese.
Chen Shichang was responsible for Ouyang Yun's speech. He only made slight changes to the original manuscript. What he never expected was that his speech would affect Guo Biao and Mu Jian in Chongqing. Butterflies bring danger,
